R1M4 JoJolity Delibs

JUDGE 1

Neither team really impressed here, to be perfectly honest. Neither did much to feasibly counter their opponent's cheating. This isn't for lack of trying on Crowbar's end, but he absolutely could've tried better than 'I just attack SAM outright,' especially when the little dude is actively trying to make him look like a shit-stirrer. Crowbar's predictions barely and vaguely got 'SAM might be used to cheat at poker' right while missing the specifics, so I'm afraid I can only give him a 2/10 here. Would've gotten more if there was actual thought put into the counter. As it is, it may as well not be there. Blue, meanwhile, managed a much, much more hard-to-guess prediction, calling that Harvester might try to rob some rich dudes, but makes no mention of doing anything with this information. This is especially bizarre given that his strategy involves making Crowbar look bad and getting him thrown out. A single sentence of the stand cop ratting on Crowbar could've boosted not only Blue's JoJolity, but his quality score dramatically for me, but for going halfway on a really impressive call, he only gets halfway. 5/10 for Blue's JoJolity.

JUDGE 2

Something that, in all honesty, neither strat really did in terms of JoJolity was to actually... reveal the opponent's cheating plot. This sort of by default means that the JoJolity scores this round are gonna be a bit low. Firstly, I'll start with Crowbar, who was the one who came closest to the full requirements for the category. However, both his initial read (Blue Monday will use his Stand to cheat at poker) and his method of attacking that (Attempting to microwave him from afar) both leave a bit to be desired; aside from not being entirely accurate, it's also not exactly a great method to even stop it. However, simply by virtue of coming close to the actual stated goal, I give it a 4 for JoJolity.

Blue Monday's JoJolity play is a bit different; it makes a significantly more impressive read, commenting on an entire section of Crowbar Jackson's strat, and one that wasn't too obvious to boot. However, it does absolutely nothing to attempt to reveal it, without even a token effort to that part of the category. In the end, though, the read still is very impressive, and considering neither side really accomplished the 'reveal it' goal, I'm willing to be a bit more lenient on that front. Still, though, even with a highly impressive read, I can't in good conscience give this start a higher JoJolity score than a 5. If there was anything related to revealing it, that would jump up quite a bit, as the initial read was very good, but alas, it did not.
